DUBAI, March 14 (Reuters) - Iran has decided to halt work on the expansion
of its Abadan oil refinery until mid-April as  part of measures to contain the
new coronavirus outbreak, the semi-official Mehr news agency said, citing
Managing Director of National Iranian Oil Engineering and Construction Company
(NIOEC) Saeed Sattari Naini. 
    Iran contracted China's Sinopec in 2017 to carry out the work over a period
of four years.
